Analysis Paragraphs:Unfortunately I am not going to be able to attend class today. I did not want to include the statistics about the diverse ethic backgrounds because the percentages do not equal 0.
Barrington is, statistically, very much ahead of Rhode Island in ways of low drop out rates and suspension rates, yet it is not as diverse.Barrington has a high rate of students going to public school, 86.7% as opposed to 83.7% in Rhode Island overall. This can be an indicator of how the schools are doing especially with most of the Barrington community attending the public schools, yet there is only a drop out rate of 2.5%, as opposed to the 15.5% drop out rate of Rhode Island. This means that most of Barrington's
students graduate, creating more knowledgeable and educated society. This fact coupled with the low suspension rates in the schools of Barrington, in general about 12% less high school suspensions than RI students in high school, and around 9% less special education students than the RI rate, and 10% less than the middle school children of RI and 6% less suspension that that of RI elementary students, one could venture to say that the community of Barrington places a great concern and focus on doing well in school. This is one of the barriers that Barrington does not face, the issue of a disruptive learning community outside of the school that does not place enough stock in the education of their children, is non-existent. The fact that 97% of Barrington's population are too affluent to have reduced/subsidized lunch, as opposed to the 62% of Rhode Islanders, shows that this is a community with little poverty. If poverty is not an issue ans language barriers are not the problem, as only 1% of the population of Barrington have learned English as a second language, than it seems that Barrington is set up for success. With out the demographic barriers to hinder the students it would seem that they would do well in school. Although 1% more of classes taught in Barrington are not highly qualified as opposed 4% in all of Rhode Island. This factor could hinder the schools of Barrington, however if the 5% of teachers are ones that are good teachers without high standing degrees than this would become a small if not non-existent issue. The fact that Barrington has a lower enrollment in the special needs classes than Rhode Island does, 4% less, just shows that the barrier of learning disabilities, although present, is not a major factor in many of the student's educational careers in Barrington. Thus further proving that, with Barrington's demographics compared to Rhode Island's in mind, Barrington has little diversity but a lot of potential for success with it's schools.
